The Animi's graphical representation of the Huntsman.

The Huntsman (real name: William de Saint-Prix) was an Animi Avatar used by the entertainment branch of Abstergo Industries, as part of their plan to influence the general public, via the console stage of the Animus technology.

Unique Moves

(Low Profile, Front)

The Huntsman approaches his target and grabs his hook, before swinging it in a downwards arc and piercing it into their left shoulder. As the weapon lodges itself into his victim, he kicks their left knee from underneath them, sending them spinning onto their back and his hook ripping a savage wound as it frees itself with the momentum.

(Low Profile, Back)

Casually walking over to his target from behind, the Huntsman draws his hook, before reaching around and stabbing it into their neck. As his victim stands vulnerable from the blow, he closes the distance and grasps their shoulder, before the Huntsman twists them and wrenches his weapon sharply to the right, slitting their throat and spinning them, where they stumble and fall to their death.

(High Profile, Front)

Hastily closing the distance between himself and his target, the Huntsman pierces his hook under their chin and pulls them forward, before rolling over their back and dragging them from their feet. As his victim is yanked into a barrel roll by his hook, the weapon slices though their neck while the Huntsman lands on his feet, leaving them to crash into the ground where they die of blood loss.

(High Profile, Back)

Rushing over to his target from the rear, the Huntsman takes his hook in his right hand and grabs their arm with his left one. Following this, he stabs his weapon into the side of their neck, before dragging his victim around and flipping them over his hook, cruelly slashing through their throat with the momentum.

(Aerial Kill)

Pouncing on his target from above, the Huntsman takes his hook from his waist and raises it above his head, before keenly swinging it down into their neck as he collides with them. As their body breaks his fall, he rips his hook out of his victim, before storing it back on its holster and walking away from the grisly scene.

(Bench Kill)

The Huntsman grabs his seated target's foot and drags them off the bench, until their head rests against it. Before they can do anything to defend themselves, the Huntsman forcefully kicks them in the face, violently sending their head backwards and breaking his victim's neck on the bench behind them.
